Unilever named 'Company of the Year'

Unilever has been named 'Company of the Year' for the positive impact it has on communities, environments, marketplaces and workplaces around the world.

The award comes from a UK organisation called Business in the Community (BITC), which recognises companies that ensure that being responsible is integral to their business model. However it is for its global work that Unilever has been recognised.

UK and Ireland Executive Vice Presidnet Amanda Sourry was presented with the award in London by Philip Green, Chief Executive of United Utilities - last year's winning company in front of 1000 business leaders.
